It looks like it's using the right settings, but now you have "Emulate3Buttons" "no". From your log: (**) Option "Protocol" "auto" (**) Mouse0: Device: "/dev/input/mice" (**) Mouse0: Protocol: "auto" (**) Option "CorePointer" (**) Mouse0: Core Pointer (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" (**) Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" (**) Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" (**) Mouse0: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5 (**) Mouse0: Buttons: 9 Perhaps you should change that to "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"? -- Dan _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: [email protected]
